It was good for are needs for fishing, the only thing that could be better was how to get local channels on the TV as an older person I not familiar with the setup you have. If you could have a person set it up prior would be great. I missed the baseball games!

Worst VRBO experience in 10 years
We arrived at the property and were concerned that there were boards and exposed nails from roofing work around the property. We were concerned but entered the place anyway. The place had not been cleaned. The floors were dirty (bugs), the beds had not been made, the linens were dirty, the former renter's trash was still in the trash cans, and there was dog hair on the bed. We immediately informed the homeowner of the situation. They apologized but did nothing. We left and returned 3.5 hours later, and the house had still not been cleaned. Informed the owner again, who offered apologies and a $95 refund. Money was not the issue; we wanted the home cleaned. Finally, 4 hours after we checked in, a cleaning crew arrived. She discovered a bedspread with about a round 10" stain that looked like dried blood, on one of the bedspreads. That pushed us past our limit. This place was clearly not sanitary! I informed the owner that this and their meaningless apologies were unacceptable. We packed up, and I had to find a hotel room in Houston at 10-11ish. We unpacked and stayed in the hotel for the trip. We've used VRBO for ten years, and I've never left a bad review. These people should not be allowed to ruin people's vacations on VRBO. It was the worst experience we've ever had with VRBO.

You get what you pay for
I booked this house off Vrbo for a quick turn around trip. It’s a definitely get what you pay for house. The house looks nothing like the pictures on the listing. When you arrive it looks as though the house is going to fall apart. Check-in was very easy however, once entering the house the side door was cracked open. Foundation is awful and the back door was very hard to close and lock. There was dead roaches on kitchen floor and live ones crawling out of a coffee pot that you couldn’t even get open. There were food crumbs left on the counter tops and the dishes were dirty. There was trash all under the beds and on the floor in one of the bed rooms. Smaller bathroom looked as though it had not been cleaned from a previous stay. The bedding smelled like molded corn chips. The towels were white and looked very dirty, we just piled them on one bed. After pulling the covers on all the beds. We ended running to the Dollar Store and getting stuff to clean the room with the 3 bunk beds really good and all ended up sleeping in there. The light in the laundry room didn’t work and there was no ceiling in there as well. Dryer doesn’t work well at all. We had brought stuff to cook but after seeing the kitchen, we decided we would just go grab stuff to grill. After seeing the grill we changed on mind on that also. We needed eating out the whole time and staying gone majority of the time. Only positive thing the A/C works really well. I do not recommend this house at ALL!

Quick get away
At the moment I drove up, my impression was not positive, the property had alot on exterior damage . Upon entering the home the door knob came apart, I notifyed owner but it was not fixed. The enterance of the home was dirty filled with dirt, spider webs and mold stains on walls. I walked around the home and noticed alot of cobwebs and mold stains around the windows blinds and A/C ducts. They beds sheets were not freshly clean. They had a bad odor and stains on some of the pillow cases. The decorative pillows were disgustingly dirty. One room had a window A/C and it did not cool and it was dirty as well.

The Listing is Misleading
The listing for this property shows pictures with gleaming, clean surfaces and rooms, lots of space, and cute decor. I also messaged the host when I first found the listing and asked him if everything in the condo was in working order, since Hurricane Beryl had damaged much of the area a few weeks before. He assured me that everything worked in the condo. Bottom line: the listing is misleading and the host either lied or was mistaken about everything working. When we arrived the first night, we had nearly no water pressure at all. No one could shower and the toilets wouldn't flush. I contacted the host around 10pm that night and he never replied before we went to bed. Messaged him again next morning and he still didn't reply for hours. I finally filed a complaint with VRBO and suddenly the host contacted me. He did send a repairman and plumbing was finally fixed. Furthermore, the house is a dump. The tiny kitchen has falling apart cabinets full of filth and junk, the linens were dirty, the pillowcases smelled like corn chips. The house has major foundation issues, doors won't close, it smells like mildew, coffee maker leaks, upper deck is rickety and dangerous, floors were filthy, and, for $1100 for three nights, they couldn't even provide decent paper towels. Do not fall for the lies in this listing that this is a nice place to stay. Can't even see the beach from the house. I won't ever book this house again, and I go to Surfiside multiple times a year.
